Evaluate the Structural and Physicochemical Properties of Exopolysaccharides Produced by Bacillus halotolerans Isolated from Locally Sourced Vegetables.
Polymers 2024 March 11
In this study, a Bacillus halotolerans ( B. halotolerans ) strain DT1 capable of producing exopolysaccharides (EPS) was isolated from dried cabbages of Tianjin, a local fermented vegetable product. Three distinct polysaccharide fractions were isolated from the fermentation broth of DT1, namely, DT1-0, DT1-2, and DT1-5. The structural composition and properties of these fractions were investigated. The predominant EPS, DT1-0, was identified as a novel heteropolysaccharide composed of fructose and glucose with branched structures. The repeating unit was determined to be [4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-β-D-Fruf-(2→6)-β-D-Fruf-(2→6-)-β-D-Fruf-(2→], with fructose and glucose connected by β-(2→1) and α-(1→4) glycosidic linkages between the third fructose and the first glucose, respectively. The molecular weight ( Mw ) was estimated to be 4.253 × 103 Da. DT1-0 presented a smooth and porous surface structure as observed through SEM and exhibited a water-holding capacity of 504 ± 5.3%, maximum thermal stability at 245 °C, and an oil-holding capacity of 387 ± 1.9% for coconut oil. DT1-2 was identified as a fructooligosaccharide. DT1-5 was characterized as a polysaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. In conclusion, these findings provide substantial support for the further application of B. subtilis strain DT1 and its EPS fractions, DT1-0, DT1-2, and DT1-5, as potential alternatives for functional food additives or ingredients.
